Alligator Tattoo Meanings

Alligator Tattoo meaning – in most places (if not, in all), alligators, crocodiles or caimans mean only fear (like a Grim Reaper), strength (like Poseidon), agility (they are born predators and they hunt – like a stingray), brave (like a koi fish) and much more. Some people also associated the crocodile/alligator with magic (like a frog tattoo). They also mean protection (like a turtle) - they have an armoured skin, so it’s kinda hard for the enemy to attack them. They are also related to “good vision“. Do you know they have a good night vision as well? But also, they have a good sense of smell that it’s very good developed. Want some pictures for your next tattoo?
